INDUSTRY • PROFILE
Management rights are a major focus
for Kirsten and Chenoa’s
their different career paths, they have
formed a formidable double act in this
traditionally male-dominated industry.
Sharing a competitive streak and
penchant for creative solutions, Kirsten
and Chenoa appear to have found
their dream jobs. Kirsten describes
her transition to the team at Resort
Brokers as “the best decision I’ve made
in my career so far”, while Chenoa
loves working in a role that blends
work-from-home flexibility, complex
negotiations and the excitement of
closing deals. Chenoa alone has settled
in excess of $34 million in sales in just
12 months, a remarkable achievement
for a relatively new broker operating in
challenging economic times.
Tropic talks to Kirsten and Chenoa
about their career backgrounds, their
motivations and the roles they play at
Resort Brokers.
